Answer: C

Mass times its velocity

Explanation:

Momentum is a measurement of a stability of the system . When momentum is higher system is stable. Ex : Motion of a bullet when its velocity become less its get fallen

Momentum =Mass * Velocity

It's a vector and it's direction is same as velocity direction .

A 210 g block is dropped onto a relaxed vertical spring that has a spring constant of k = 2.0 N/cm. The block becomes attached t

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

a) $W_{g}=mdx = 0.21 kg *9.8\frac{m}{s^2} 0.10m=0.2058 J$

b) $W_{spring}= -\frac{1}{2} Kx^2 =-\frac{1}{2} 200 N/m (0.1m)^2=-1 J$

c) $V_i =\sqrt{2 \frac{W_g + W_{spring}}{0.21 kg}}}=\sqrt{2 \frac{(1-0.2058)}{0.21 kg}}}=2.75m/s$

d) $d_1 =0.183m$ or 18.3 cm

Explanation:

For this case we have the following system with the forces on the figure attached.

We know that the spring compresses a total distance of x=0.10 m

Part a

The gravitational force is defined as mg so on this case the work donde by the gravity is:

$W_{g}=mdx = 0.21 kg *9.8\frac{m}{s^2} 0.10m=0.2058 J$

Part b

For this case first we can convert the spring constant to N/m like this:

$2 \frac{N}{cm} \frac{100cm}{1m}=200 \frac{N}{m}$

And the work donde by the spring on this case is given by:

$W_{spring}= -\frac{1}{2} Kx^2 =-\frac{1}{2} 200 N/m (0.1m)^2=-1 J$

Part c

We can assume that the initial velocity for the block is Vi and is at rest from the end of the movement. If we use balance of energy we got:

$W_{g} +W_{spring} = K_{f} -K_{i}=0- \frac{1}{2} m v^2_i$

And if we solve for the initial velocity we got:

$V_i =\sqrt{2 \frac{W_g + W_{spring}}{0.21 kg}}}=\sqrt{2 \frac{(1-0.2058)}{0.21 kg}}}=2.75m/s$

Part d

Let d1 represent the new maximum distance, in order to find it we know that :

$-1/2mV^2_i = W_g + W_{spring}$

And replacing we got:

$-1/2mV^2_i =mg d_1 -1/2 k d^2_1$

And we can put the terms like this:

$\frac{1}{2} k d^2_1 -mg d_1 -1/2 m V^2_i =0$

If we multiply all the equation by 2 we got:

$k d^2_1 -2 mg d_1 -m V^2_i =0$

Now we can replace the values and we got:

$200N/m d^2_1 -0.21kg(9.8m/s^2)d_1 -0.21 kg(5.50 m/s)^2) =0$

$200 d^2_1 -2.058 d_1 -6.3525=0$

And solving the quadratic equation we got that the solution for $d_1 =0.183m$ or 18.3 cm because the negative solution not make sense.

If you throw a ball down ward then acceleration immeditely after leaving your hand is

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

9.8m/s²

Explanation:

The acceleration of the ball thrown after leaving my hand is 9.8m/s². This will be the acceleration due to gravity on the body.

Acceleration due to gravity is caused by the pull of the earth on a massive object.
The value of this acceleration is 9.8m/s².
As the ball nears the surface, it comes near zero.

Which term means the distance between two bridge supports?

Ad libitum [116K]

The best answer is b - span.

A span is the distance between two bridge supports The supports may be towers, columns, or even the wall of a canyon.

There are many kinds of bridges but they all fall into three types namely beam, arch and suspension. The major difference between these three kinds of bridges is the distance that each can cross in a single span.

For example, a modern beam bridge is likely to span a distance of 200 feet, a modern arch can span 800 or 1000feet, and a modern suspension bridge can span up to 7000ft.
